Are they worth getting? I only noticed them the other day and i see they have plasma and disruptor proc, i like disruptor and i have started the rep to get the dual heavies but wondered if anyone has then and can tell me what they think?

    They are pretty nice. I have an armitage with 2dhc, romulan plasma torp, experimental beam, three turrets, and an elite scorpion. works like a charm.

    I've finished the rep project for it the romulan DHC's, and I honestly don't think its worth the 28k of dil for each one. I was kinda mad that I wasted 500 rommie marks on the project lol.

    IIRC, the top Rommie DHC (in terms of DPS) was DMG x2 where you can get Fleet Plasma DHC with DMG x3 and CritD for 10k dil and some fleet credits


    I'm personally using the Fleet Plasma DHC and love them. Other people might have a different opinion, but my goal is high DPS with a little bonus to Crit.

    Hope this helps :D

    Well, if you are in a Fleet without access to all those shiny fleet equipment pieces, the Romulan Equipment is the obvious chocie, since you can get everything easily solo.

    I use them on my MV Advanced Escort for eSTFs. They rock out loud.

    Another thing the Romulan weapons have going for them they are Hybrid weapons. They have the usual Plasma proc, but they also have the Disruptor proc as well.

    Yeah i know :) but with disruptors you use the disruptor power upgrades in the tac slot wud they work with the romulan weapons? Or is the plasma upgrade better?

    Only the plasma consoles have an effect on the Romulan weapons, sadly. I would have prefered they were Disruptors, but they count as Plasma and do plasma damage.

    It is for that reason that on my KDF toon I use the Plasma-Disruptor Hybrid Dual Heavy Cannons Mk XI obtained from "Second Star to the Right, Straight on 'til Morning" episode mission. They receive the bonus from disruptor enhancing consoles and traits and they have an innate accuracy bonus. They do the job quite well! Much better than forking out hard earned dil for an MKXII that does slightly more damage

    Another option would be to equip disruptors plus an embassy sci console that gives the plasma DOT.

    No, no turrets from the mission, just DHC and Beam array.

    It's interesting that between the Romular and the Mission reward weapons they are almost exactly the same except the opposite: One is Plasma with additional Disruptor proc and the other is Disruptor with additional Plasma proc.

    Well, except the bonus of a plasma DoT isn't as large an increase as the bonus the embassy consoles give to actual plasma weapons. Having them be plasma weapons with a disruptor proc is actually really nice - it allows you to apply the disruptor proc while also having your weapons get the max benefit from the embassy consoles. It's particularly nice for sci ships/carriers.

    I've been considering getting 5 of these DHCs for my constant high DPS Kumari build (didn't like the wing cannons so much). I already tear through pretty much everything anyway with the fleet DHCs. The only romulan DHC's I can get are MK XI though, should I wait for the MK XII?

    I meant the Romulan DHC's were MK XII. Fixed it.
